East London Life

At London Footprints there is a nice selection of DIY walking tours of east London. One in particular caught my eye: a route that passes through three parks in one walk - the splendid (and large!) Victoria Park, the linear Mile End Park with new landscaping & features and Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park now a nature reserve with a numbered trail.

Well laid out and lovingly researched, the directions (suitable for printing before your outing) feature turn by turn commentary on the features and history of almost everything you come across on the walk.

So, next time you find yourself near Limehouse DLR with some time to spare, or if you fancy a nice stroll through interesting green spaces, take a walk through the park(s).
